India vs New Zealand: Hand injury forces Siraj to miss second T20I

RANCHI: India pacer Mohammed Siraj was forced to miss the second T20I against New Zealand on Friday after injuring his left hand while fielding in the series-opener.

With Siraj unavailable for selection, Harshal Patel made his India debut.

"Siraj got a web split on his left hand while fielding on his own bowling in the 1st T20I in Jaipur. The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring his progress," said BCCI in a statement.

Siraj had conceded 39 runs in four overs and taken a wicket in the first game that India won by five wickets.
